    Using the story of the wise men to teach us how God seeks us and brings us to seek the Christ.

    The story of the wise men visiting the Christ child is an intriguing one.

    People Of The First Christmas-The Magi Or Wise Men Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Dec 29, 2020
     | 3,253 views

    Even though the Magi or "wise men" have had a Christmas carol or two (or more) written about them, they're only mentioned in one paragraph of Matthew's Gospel. They came from a far distance, worshiped the Christ Child, and then went back home, never to be heard from again.

    Introduction: the shepherds of Bethlehem were the only recorded visitors to go see Joseph, Mary, and Baby Jesus on the night He was born. Sometime later, Matthew recorded that “wise men (KJV)” or magi (several other translations) came to Jerusalem. The purpose of their visit was to worship the One ...read more
